1987 W.H. 310-8M10 Engine to Tractor Connector Wire Orientation?

[Railboy 12]

Hello, And onto a Topic for a 1987 Wheel Horse 310-8 Kohler M10 Engine Connector to Tractor Connector 

Wire Conformation with Correct Arrangement at Connection.

 

I have run into an issue do to Colors of Wires are not in diagrams, and the only Diagram I have seen with some

of the colors I am not sure on the connector where they go?

 

And yes, I need some access to more wiring diagrams to work this out.  In one diagram the Yellow Wire goes to 

the Head Lights, but to share, I can not upload this diagram do to access to download, wish I could to elaborate.

 

I have photos below of what I have currently from an Engine Rebuild, and Connector dismantling and reassembling that

I am not a 100% sure if correct.

 

Reason, I have a blown Stator that the images of the wiring currently could have contributed to.

 

So, I have seen one Kohler M10 Wiring Diagram with the Color Yellow, but no Black of the Stator.

 

Point it, I am going to track down the leads of the Stator to see where they go on the Tractor.

 

So, as you see, in the second row down from the hump, the hump is the White Magneto Wire Lead, which is correct.

But below on the Right side of the White Wire, is the Yellow, and then to the Bottom Left of the White, is the Black Wire.

 

Both Black Wire and Yellow Wire are Stator Wires with a Stator that has inline the built in Diode Rectifier.  Not sure which one really.

 

Thing is this.  The Engine was disassembled and rebuilt over winter, and connector taken apart.  And I have a Blown Stator, it does not pass

the Kohler's Stator Trouble Shooting Guide Test.  It failed a few of the test.  It Grounds out(One Wire to the Chassis), plus there is no continuity between the Yellow and Black

Wire's of the Stator.  No .1-.2 ohms.  These test came from the Site's Kohler's Trouble Shooting Section on Testing Stators.  

 

Also, my Stator is a Two Wire Stator with the Built in Diode Rectifier for conversion of AC to DC to charge the battery and I guess a few other things like Lights.

 

Thank you for your time, I am trying to collaborate that my wires are either wrong or correct before I install a new Stator and Wire it up to the Connector.  Making sure

I am avoiding a misconnection and hopefully the Stator works out this next time.

 

Thank you for your  help.

In a 3 amp unregulated system which I believe you are working on there are 3 wires in the engine harness.  The one with the lump (diode) is dc and charges the battery.  One is AC that powers the head lights when the engine is running.  The other is the magneto kill wire.

 

One confusing fact the colors in the engine harness are Kohler Looking at my 2 single Magnums the yellow wire  is the one the changes to green in the tractor side of the connector, and is the head light circuit.  One of the other two, will have a lump in it a couple inches in from the connector. That lump is the diode that changes the AC to DC for the charging system.  The other wire is the magneto kill,  Peel back the plastic tube to see the diode.

Thank you for all ya'll's input and also Ackto for the link to the wiring diagram.

 

I need to trace down the yellow wire and black wire to where they go to verify proper

placement in the connector.

 

Any ideas on the Black Wire off my connector, yellow on the diagram should have continuity off

the head light circuit with the lights on, I am figuring.

 

But this, and have to say, my new Stator is in the mail.  I will post a photo of it and connectors of it

for I have seen both male and female connectors on them.  But also, I will be seeing the color of the

wires for the first time once it shows.

 

But as pfrederi said, I may have to cut open the sheathing back to the diode(rectifier) to make sure of 

colors.  Which makes it and up in the air for me thing right now.

 

So, give me some time, but will be back with what I find out once the new Stator shows(Photos Posted).

 

Thank ya'll for your help, luckily I have not melted anything other than I guess the stator, not sure why(other than crossed up wires

or pinched leads at time of assembly or rubbed the flywheel), have to 

pull the shroud yet and flywheel yet to see, but need the tractor for cutting grass. The magneto does the Spark Plug so starts and runs

but frying the 15 amp. fuse at time of start-up, every-time.  Guess the Stator being grounding out on a lead is doing it.
